The Greater one-horned rhino and white rhino are vulnerable, just like the other species of rhino due to poaching and habitat reduction, but these two cuties are boosting conservation efforts.

The Greater one-horned calf was born in October while the white rhino was born in late September.

The Wilds is a southeastern Ohio reserve that is pushing towards keeping rhinos existent.

We'd say they are doing an EXCELLENT job!!! Keep it up!

For a species that suffers heavily against poaching, these future mama is great news!

Congrats on the new baby rhino, Monarto Zoo!

Zoo keepers at Burgers' Zoo in The Netherlands were surprised when a baby rhino decided to enter the world earlier than expected.

The baby rhino may be a preemie but he's stable and healthy!

Even though he was born 6 weeks early and no zoo keepers were around to see it!

His 12-year-old mother is healthy too!

They are white rhinos and they are listed as Near Threatened which means that as a species in the wild, they're not doing too well. Mainly because of poaching.

That's so sad because they're so CUTE!
